As one of the largest IT conferences in this area, it brought together the Croatian IT community, but this time in an unprecedented hybrid edition. Partly at the Split FESB and partly online, the young ‘dumpsters’ successfully held a conference respecting epidemiological measures while bringing a lot of interesting content.
This year, DUMP Days, Dev, Design, Marketing, and Tech hosted all IT enthusiasts at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Naval Architecture. Thus, Split once again became the epicenter of the Croatian technology scene, enabling companies to meet young talent in one place.
Nebojsa Veron, DUMP alumni, and director of Blank Development said the following at Days 2021:
“As an alumni member who has been here since the beginning of the Association, I am glad that a project that has brought the Croatian IT scene together for years is still being realized. Not only is the DUMP Days conference a great way to promote a company, but it is an ideal way to connect with young talented staff. For regular Days attendees, the lack of hats from previous years is a little strange, but the team has done everything at a top level.”
The program of this year’s Days was rich and varied. The experts held a series of lectures and two-panel discussions that visitors watched online from their laptops from the comfort of their own homes. About how this year’s online format was accepted, the numbers of dumpers can testify – 2000+ online followers and the maximum allowed number of appointments for live groups!
Obviously, people want to learn more about innovations in the world of digital technologies, and they are also interested in other people’s life paths that could potentially inspire them in creating their own destinies.
Regarding the physical participation in the conference, with the support of the Crisis Center and compliance with all measures, all activities were held without incident. The schedule did not disappoint at all – from workshops led by top experts in their fields to fly talks where partly outdoors and partly online, young people would meet company representatives and thus gain insight into the necessary knowledge and skills to find a job in the IT sector. After all, numerous regional companies had their stands in the exhibition space and gave insight into the atmosphere and work in their offices.
“Congratulations to the organizers of DUMP Days 2021! Despite all the epidemiological measures, they managed to organize excellent workshops and prepare interesting lectures for us digital people. See you next year!” said the enthusiastic Lydia, a DUMP Days visitor.
On this occasion, the Dump organization wants to thank their visitors for their participation, respect for all measures, and understanding.
